BOOM! Here comes the BOOM! 

 

Ready or not, here comes the boys from the south!!!

Suzuki scores first. 1-0 Canes. Florida not playing many starters.

Now KK scores, 2-0.

Smith had his second fight in two games, not sure the value in those fights seemed irrelevant to the play.

Two Canes goalie Miftakhov turnovers/miscues late in the 3rd result in Panthers goals, empty net goal makes it 4-2 Panthers win. Bleh.

Rod gives no sh*ts about the pre season

Really impressed with the canes last night. I know they lost with the 4th string goalie in but through most of the game they looked like world beaters. Team is solid.

They looked good but its how I expected them to play in the regular season.... that said nothing to take from it tbh.

Meh. 

A lot of odd-man rushes and high danger opportunities and they put 2 pucks in the net on 40+ shots.

Don't want to read too much into a preseason game, but...

Florida got dealt a second huge blow to their season. Now they'll have to play the majority of the season without Barkov and Tkachuk. 

Barkov is expected to miss the entire season and with the new rules, If they put him on full LTIR, he can't play in the postseason at all.

6-5 lightning win. Wild game in the 3rd. Canes PP abysmal 0-7.

I was really impressed with Robidas, 2 points, big energy and a great pass to net front for a Trikozov goal.  

Labanc also looked good.

Who decided Misthepuck was an NHL caliber goalie?

He is flat out bad, there is no other way to sugar coat it.
